Thank you to everyone who contributed to the discussion of
"life-changing" books (and childhood favorites)!
Here are the CCBC-Net topics for the next two months. Weinvite you to share announcements over the next several days, and we'll start the first June discussion topic early next week.
Upcoming CCBC-Net Topics:
June
First Two Weeks -- Art and Artists in Literature for Children and Young Adult.
>From fact to fiction, many books for children and teens have explored
art, artists, and the artistic process. There are informative biographies, illuminating novels, inspiring picture books, and a number of how-to (or in the case of Mark Gonyea's "Complicated Doesn't Make It Good," how NOT to) guides to creative visual expression. We'll spend the first half of June looking at treatments of art and artists in books for children and teens.
Second Two Weeks-- Family Dynasty: The Pinkneys. We'll move from our discussion of art and artists to the work of a highly artistic family in the world of literature for children when we talk about books illustrated and written by members of the Pinkney family in the second half of June.
July
First Two Weeks -- Camp CCBC-Net: Summer Stories.
Whether they live in the heart of a steaming city or on the fringes of a small rural town, summer has a distinctive quality for school-age children. Routines change, or disappear altogether. There may be sleep-away camp, a family vacation, a new job, or endless time to explore. Summer can present new opportunities and new challenges for friendship, for adventure, and even for survival. We'll spend the first half of July discussing books for children and teens that convey the essence of summer experiences.
Second Two Weeks -- Old Stories, New Forms.
Remember the Little House board books and easy chapter books? The Chronicles of Narnia picture books? Have you seen the graphic novel versions of The Babysitters Club, or The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew? What are your thoughts on board book editions of Caldecott winners or other previously issued picture books? During the second half of June on CCBC-Net, we invite you to share your thoughts on publishing successes and failures when it comes to reissuing old stories in new formats.
